baseRate: Estimated Baseline Rate Function

In reda: Recurrent Event Data Analysis

Estimated Baseline Rate Function

Description

An S4 class generic function that returns the estimated baseline rate function.

Usage

baseRate(object, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'rateReg'
baseRate(object, level = 0.95, control = list(), ...)

Arguments

object	An object used to dispatch a method.
...	Other arguments for future usage.
level	An optional numeric value indicating the confidence level required. The default value is 0.95.
control	An optional list to specify the time grid where the baseline rate function is estimated. The availble elements of the control list include grid, length.out, from and to. The time grid can be directly specified via element grid. A dense time grid is suggested. Element length.out represents the length of grid points. The dafault value is 1,000. Element from means the starting point of grid with default 0. Element to represnts the endpoint of grid with the right boundary knot as default. When grid is missing, the grid will be generated by seq (from package base) with arguments from, to and length.out.

Value

A baseRate object.

Functions
